Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any Xtras for basic communication with serial ports (in particular, USB ports) other than the two we have found so far (mentioned below).
We are planning to set up a new subject in an art course where students can control aspects of their scuptural/installation projects by sending messages from Director to control external devices like lights, motors etc. (basically to turn switches off and on). We would also like to be able to receive input sent to a USB port from sensing devices either to control what is happening on screen or to control another external device. The two we have found so far (but have yet to try out) are: 1) DirectCommunication Xtra by DirectXtras. 2) Serial Xtra by Physical Bits We've looked on the Macromedia page for Xtras (which lists the two we found). Other places I've looked without success include RavWare, DMTools, and Magic Modules (makers of Buddy API). I've also looked at Director Web but there is so much stuff there I could have missed what I was looking for. Any pointers for other places to look would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, John Waller [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
